check around on youtube for sound samples. its just an awesome little synth like the microkorg and alesis micron.

Just know that it is very easy to use and there are so many patches to start out with. it IS a real standalone synth but can also be used as a midi controller for something else. this thing rocks! I used it in my band for pad transitions between songs and such. hook up a sustain pedal and pow, hold that note/chord forever.

it is in great condition. everything works and there are no chips or dents. just some light scratches here and there, nothing that I can even get in a photo because of the slightly shiny gray finish. it will be shipped with the power supply in a great Gator tote bag that fits it wonderfully with a lot of padding.

I use my xio for synth bass and other dance synth parts live and it is killer. Easy to program, especially if you download the unofficial editor program. Plus, it's a class compliant 2 channel USB audio interface and a midi controller. The x/y pad kills for filter sweeps too. Very cool, overlooked synth. And I can say that mine is very scratched up and still works perfectly, so it is definitely gig worthy.
